CONGRATZ, MR. PRESIDENT!

Way to go, Mr. President! I know that winning Nobel Prizes for Peace for American presidents is as easy as "falling off a log," Norwegians have a weakness for contradictions, not to mention guilt. They are still trying to resolve the grim Grendel affair, lurking in their collective memory. The results are obvious: A U.S. president invades another country, and they become frontrunners for the Nobel Prize. As with the Grendel "thing," they are trying to see beyond the facts of the matter to the rosy vision beyond.


Mr. President, you are not to feel guilty or unworthy. The Nobel Peace Prize doesn't go to anyone for their achievements; it is "cheerleading" for a game in progress. These are "best wishes" in your work of drawing the world together in peace by means of the "military sciences."


Mr. President, your wisdom is at one with the great political leaders of our times. Mao Tze-Tung had declared that the "people are the sea" and the "communist revolutionaries are the fish." Unfortunately, as you know, terrorists can also play the fish. Your decision to evaporate the water can only be "hailed," as a triumph of military science in pursuit of peace.


Mr. President, your actions in the Levant are consistent with the worldwide aspiration for true democracy. In this you are now an acknowledged leader. With your noble vision, aided by your wise counselors at international law, you have begun choosing the democratic leaders that will be the future patriarchs of these emerging democracies. One day soon, they will take their rightful place among the democratic leaders of the world in the march for collective progress and universal peace. How can hunger and suffering stand against our very own Ozimandias?


Mr. President, in you we come "full circle," and "loose ends" are fading from the memory of a world, which will soon be at peace. We prize you!
